Pneumatic drives have many advantages over other actuators in terms of efficiency and safety which enable them to be used in many applications. In the present study, a new method of position manipulator with two pneumatic cylinders which are interconnected has been presented. Nonlinear mathematical model of the system has been formulated. Using Matlab-Simulink software, the system has been simulated. Fuzzy based control system has been designed for the system. From the various responses and indices it is observed that the fuzzy based control system has better performance than PID based control system. Also it is observed that the system with fuzzy controller has better setpoint tracking characteristics. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
